Five black dots arranged on a white-enameled brass blade distinguish this Mepps Comet 2 Dressed spinner. Identified by product code 2818, this lure weighs 3/16oz (4.5g) and measures 2 1/4" (6cm) from the top eyelet to the bend of the hook. The construction utilizes French-made components assembled in the USA, featuring a series of brass beads and a central weight body highlighted with recessed red stripes. A dressed treble hook is secured at the base, wrapped in a natural squirrel tail dressing consisting of brown and black fibers with a touch of red. In a solid 5/5 condition, the hardware shows no signs of wear, and the blade stamping remains sharp and legible. This model is built for casting, with the dressed tail adding visual volume to the profile.
